The ladies had their second ever live show at the Olmsted County History Center to celebrate Minnesota Mavens! This episode is a rare gem in that it is actually family friendly, so feel free to share with your kiddos who want to learn more about bada** babes from herstory! First, Kelley tells the story of Sarah Burger Stearns, an avid feminist and suffragist who traveled all over the country, campaigning for women's rights, particularly the right to vote, and even came to Rochester, MN, to start the first Women's Suffrage organization in Minnesota! Then, Emily revisits one of her all-time favorite group projects with the Willmar 8, a group of brave bank workers who endured subzero weather to fight for gender equality in the workplace. Grab some coffee (or alcohol- we don't judge) and get ready because we're wining about herstory!
